Combine soy sauce, water, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, cognac, 1 tablespoon Dijon and garlic. Place beef steak in a large dish or plastic bag. Add marinade, turning to coat, cover dish or tie bag securely and marinate in refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours, turning occasionally.


Meanwhile, soak 4 (6';) bamboo skewers in water 10 minutes. Combine butter and remaining brown sugar and Dijon mustard. Reserve. Skewer onion halves in 2 places through all layers, placing 2 halves on skewers. Repeat 4 times. Pour off marinade; discard. Grill steak and onions on grid over medium coals, turning once.

This is the traditional marinade recipe for Korean Bulgogi, which is a marinated steak cut into strips and served up on lettuce leaves or rice. This is also a great marinade for most cuts of beef.


Prep Time: 20 minutes


Ingredients:





* 1/2 cup soy sauce


* 1/3 cup sugar


* 3 tablespoons sake (or rice wine or sherry)


* 2 tablespoons sesame oil


* 8 cloves garlic, minced


* 4 scallions (green onions), minced


* 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds


* 1/2 teaspoon black pepper





Preparation:


Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix until the sugar has dissolved. Slightly heating the marinade may help it mix better.





Note: To toast sesame seeds place them in a hot saute pan and gently toss until they start to brown. This takes just a few seconds. Pour off into a bowl.





This marinade is used to make Bulgogi or Korean Sesame Beef. It can be served with a spicy dipping sauce.

I would suggest instead of ruining a beautiful sirloin steak with a marinade it would be better to serve a nice cracked pepper and brandy sauce or a rich red wine and mushroom sauce with it.


Sirloin is quality meat and should be enjoyed.
Try a teriyaki marinade.


Chopped raw onion, garlic, soy sauce, ground ginger and water.
onions ,mushrooms some port or red wine and single cream just before you serve yum yum
